Editorial/Opinion/Blogs / Re: The Key to Your Listener’s Inability to Confront the Disturbing Nature of Islamic Doctrine
« Last post by DefiantMassRINO on Today at 02:38:40 pm »The corollary I can think of is the Soviet Union's propagation of Communism (Marxist-Leninism-Stalinism). It was a violent revolutionary sedition posing as a poltical theory.
In our secular political society, how do you balance security and a religion with a political ideology? In the Middle East, politics and religion are the same thing - both Judaism and Islam are experienced through a poltical lens, as well as religious.
Earleir in European history, especially during the Crusades, Catholicism was a poltical force as well as religious.
This is why the Founders wanted the Western Hemisphere to be a 'New World' free of the historical entanglements of the 'Old World'.
The Middle East is an albatross around America's neck. During the Cold War, America back filled a collapsing British Empire to prevent the Soviet Union from filling the void.
Does America really need, or benefit from, maintaining a protectorate in the Middle East, as the French and British had done after World War I? They buy protection from our elites, but the average American does not see the benefit.
Thousands of American lives, 20 years' time, and trillions of dollars were wasted to build an American protectorate in Afghanistan that collapsed, and did not have long-term benefit to the American People.
Our Founders knew that elites were more likely to engage in foreign wars of adventure than the citizenry. This why War can only be Declared by Congress.
